Yonex Astrox 88D Pro 4U Black/Silver Badminton Racket
The Yonex Astrox 88D Pro is the ultimate doubles racket. The "D" stands for "Drive" — it is specifically designed for the rear-court doubles player who needs to cover the court quickly while smashing with authority. This is the racket for high-level doubles specialists.
88D Pro vs 88S Pro: Understanding the Range
Yonex offers two versions of the Astrox 88 Pro:
- 88S Pro (S = Speed): for the front-court doubles player — slightly head-lighter, optimized for interceptions and fast drives at the net.
- 88D Pro (D = Drive): for the rear-court player — more head-heavy, more punch on smashes, ideal for covering the backcourt and smashing hard.
If you primarily play from the backcourt in doubles, or if you are a singles smasher, the 88D Pro is your racket.
